LOL; it's the proverbial pot calling the kettle black:

>> Under Einstein's name you can clearly see the Heading of the word in

in _capital_ (uppercase) letters

[The Capitol is a building in Washington, D.C., the capitol (primary city)
of the U.S.A., instead.]

>>    REFRIDERATION       (meaning all caps)

No, it reads (correctly) _REFRIGERATION_.

  [If would be just a typo on "The Starmaker"'s part, it would be a very
   strange one: on a U.S. keyboard layout, the key for "D" is two keys away
   from that for "G".  So much for "English as second language".]

>>   REFRIDERATION is a process, it is not a machine.

From this repetition of the mistake we can surmise that it was not just a
typo by "The Starmaker", but that it is due to a missing ability to read or
write properly.  They might be dyslexic; but then it would be hilarious that
they would lecture others about language.

Exactly.  The patent application begins with

| Our invention relates to the art of refrigeration and particularly to an
| apparatus and method for producing refrigeration [...]

(So much for "The Starmaker"'s understanding of English.)

It is interesting to note that Einstein and Szilárd are called "ASSIGNORS TO
ELECTROLUX SERVEL CORPORATION, of NEW YORK, N.Y., A. CORPORATION OF
DELAWARE" there already.  (You mentioned that the refrigerator that was used
in your parent's home was manufactured by Electrolux and based on this design.)

Also: "Application filed December 16, 1927, Serial No. 240,566 [in the
U.S.A.], and in Germany December 16, 1926."
